A third of Bay residents expect to be mostly meat-free by 2025, a new survey found.

More than half of Kiwis say they are eating less meat, and a quarter expect to be mostly meat-free by 2025, as they focus on their health and budget according to the results of the Bean Supreme survey.

The survey, which investigated the eating habits of more than 1000 New Zealanders, found that one in four (24 per cent) of those surveyed expected to be mostly meat-free within the next seven years.

One in five of those surveyed (21 per cent) said they chose to have a meat-free dinner for more than half of the week.

In the Bay, a third (31 per cent) of people surveyed expected to be mostly meat-free within the next seven years.
